Other Notes from meeting:
Decided to use flex to develop the site. Craig raised concerns about forward compatibility, but felt reassured by John and Cyle that flex is a good choice b/c it is built on flash.
The current SL page will be revamped to be graphically consistent with Nick's UI design as it is developed.
Timeline (see above)
During the event creation, there will be an opportunity for the admin (this is why we need language!) to enter a participant list to advertise an event. This list will not match the final list of event registrants (they may hear from other sources, may register under slightly different email info etc.) This needs to be discussion about the goals of that list and how it fits into the overall process.

Roles/Responsibilities
Eric/Craig: Philosophy of site goals, design, and direction
Aubree: Project coordination ("philosophy implement-ensurer"), managing timeline, faciliate/capture process, issues resolution
